SHEODAN SINGH vs SMT. DARYAO KUNWAR

The Supreme Court held that the appeals filed by the appellant were barred by res judicata as the title issue was directly and substantially in issue in the respondent's suits, which were decided by the Civil Judge. The Court clarified that the jurisdiction of the court deciding the former suit is relevant for res judicata, not the court where the former suit was filed. The High Court's dismissal of the appeals on grounds of limitation and failure to print records was upheld, confirming the finality of the respondent's title to the property under Section 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
